Imagine Dragons

9 Dec 2016

Confirmations for Rock Werchter are gradually coming in. Today, another name. The ninth for Rock Werchter 2017. Imagine Dragons play the festival on Thursday 29 June.

As already announced, Arcade Fire and Kings of Leon play the festival on the same day. Radiohead on Friday 30 June, Blink-182, Linkin Park and System of A Down on Saturday 1 July. On Sunday 2 July Alt-J and Foo Fighters take to the stage. Rock Werchter 2017 takes place at the Festivalpark in Werchter, from Thursday 29 June to Sunday 2 July.

The story goes that Imagine Dragons is an anagram of the band’s former name, but the Las Vegas four won’t ever give it away. It’s a strong teaser, but they’ve never really needed it. Imagine Dragons have been the talk of the town since the very beginning. Their record-breaking debut album, ‘Night Visions’ (2012), sold like hotcakes; singles ‘Radioactive’ and ‘Demons’ stayed in the American charts for over a year. In fact, ‘Radioactive’ charted for a record 87 weeks. The secret of their success: alternative rock on the wavelength of Foster the People and new style Mumford & Sons. Deep bass, pounding drums and Dan Reynolds’ powerful voice. They played Rock Werchter the first time in 2014, and sold out Vorst Nationaal/Forest National in 2015. The third album is in the pipeline. The only way is up. Imagine Dragons play Rock Werchter on Thursday 29 June.
